THE DA.B. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. ?
Happiness Reigns Supreme--Water
works About Completed.
Tamassoo, Jan. 28.-Special; De
?mite the rain, our work as weil as j
our pleasures have gone on at Ta
massee. Indeed, we have not noticed
the gloomy Weather in the inside.
Why? Because it did seem that every
time some one would think of get
ting blue, One of those bright faces
would bo seen, coming around the
corner. Then thor? Would bo the
sound of several voices going out in
laughter. Then we could imagine
who had appeared to cause so much
fun. Is it not wonderful to have a
little fun mixed with our work here?
This ls what some one has said: "A
little fun now and then is relished
by the wisest men."
During the past ween we have been
made to feel that it ls Christmas
time again. If you could just see us
as we sit around and open up some
shower boxes you would think of
some little fellow on Christmas morn
ing taking things out of his stock
ings. We couldn't begin to tell all
the nice things we have received.
However, we shall be glad to show
you all these things. If you have a
chance to visit our school we shall
be delighted to show you each article
in its little home.
'More than shower boxes have come
to Tamassee. Tho three new girls are
Misses lAnnio Nicholson, of White
water; Janie E. Nicholson, of Salem,
and Jessie Deal, from Tamassee. Our
school is now comfortably filled. We
are proud of each girl, and as years
come and go, we are expecting great
things from them, each one.
We are so glad to say that the wa
ter-works are very nearly completed
at Tamassee. James Seaborn, of Wal
halla, has been very faithful in con
necting pipes, putting in sinks, con
necting stove tank, etc. Mr. Seaborn
will certainly have everything ready
by 'Monday night lo have the water
running. We are all so thankful for
this convenience. And we take ad
vantage of this time to thank each
and every one who has helped in any
way.. We want to say, too, that Mr.
Seaborn can add one more friend to
his list, and that is-well, whom do
you suppose? "Tamassee Industrial
School." Again we wish to say that
there have been other men who have
probably neglected their work at
home to help with the water-works.
Mrs. J.D. Collons, ot Tamassee, has
made for the school a real nice mat
tress for a double bed. We are glad
to recommend Mrs.Collons to any one
who wants a mattress made. Just
address hor letter "Mrs. J. D. Col
lons, care the Tamassee Industrial
School, Tamassee, S. C."
The Industrial School girls, as well
as many people of the community,
enjoyed the singing which was given
on last Sunday afternoon.
?Ramsey Whitmire, son of iMr. and
Mrs. W. C. Whitmire, of Tamassee,
has been very'sick, suffering an at
tack of appendicitis. We are all so
sorry that Ramisey is sick, and truly
hope that he can soon be back at his
place in our school.
Come to singing on Wednesday
night, Sunday school on Sunday
morning, and to night school on
Tuesday and Friday nights.

wards, Westminster.
Additional Explanation.
It does not yet appear certain that
Miss Killingsworth will be, on tho
program, as announced last week and
ns republished above. It now is cer
tain, however, that Rev. Leo D. Gil
lespie, Sunday school secretary of
our Conference, will be here; and
very likely, if Miss Killingsworth
ls not present, he will address tho
meeting at her time-10.30. Then
he will preach at ll o'clock. It is
certain, also, that Prof.Sisk, of Clem
son College, will be here and discuss
at 2.45 o'clock, the subject, "The
Teen-Age Boy."
Also, 'Rev. IA. E. Driggers has been
Invited to bo present in the afte/noon
and will likely be hore. So every one
who can be prosent will be assured
of a fine day of excellent addresses.
Laymen and ministers of the en
fire group are invited to be present.
But since this meeting is to be held
in Walhalla, the people of Walhalla
and the Walhalla Circuit are espe
cially expected.
This is not a Sunday school meet
ing, but a meeting in which all the
mo ny problems of church work will
be discussed from time to time. But
of course Sunday school necessarily
has a large part In such a program.
In this meeting the Woman's Mis
sionary Society will not be discussed,
but in others it will come In for due
consideration. Also, though the Ep
worth League is not mentioned di
rectly In this program, yet Brother
Edwards, of Westminster, will dis
cuss "The Church and the Young
People." Such a subject cannot be
discussed without at least inferen
tially talking of the one distinctive
young people's organization of the
Methodist church. So even in his
first program we will pretty veil
cover the territory of all the inter
ests of the church. A. W. Barr.

Dublin, Ga., Jan. 22.-Contrary
to the teachings of medical science,
a negro convict, Ira Allen, was found
here to-day who had air in his veins
, along with blood, according to re
ports of doctors. (Dr. A. T. Coleman
says that when he started to make an
Intravenous injection in Allen's arm
air hissed out, sounding like a punc

needle.
Another Incision was made, in an
other place, with similar results, he
says. Other doctors were present al

Pauline roso Impatiently from the
great davenport. Why should it be
so difficult to make a decision? Sure
ly she could pot love two men equal
ly well? ghe could be happy with
one, ot'that she was eyre, but, alas,
Jim's voice had great power to thrill
her!
The sound of hts step on the stair
could cause lier heart tn beat suffo
catingly/ Last night, at the country
club dance, both men bad asked the
right to place on the third finger of
her left hand the shining circlet which
means but ono thing. She thought
whimsically that lt was unfortunate
that she could marry but one.
The girl was no coquette. She in
Btlncflvely shrunk Crom the thought
of bringing unTFnpplness to anyone. But,
which one should ehe marryT Chan
ning was coming this afternoon for
his answer, and she was no nearer to
knowing 'what that answer was to be
than she had been the night before.
Restlessly she wundered from room
to room, readjusting a choir here, a
curtain there. She moved across the
room to the window. There she stood
watching the children who were slid
ing on the icy walk. Their hearty
laughter rang through the clear, frosty
air, and Pauline smiled in ready sym
pathy. She would have liked to hnve
joined In their .sport.
A 'familiar figure rotunded the corner
and ehe caught her breath./! ' It wes
Jim i Oh, surely he wasn't coming to
see her nowt Surely he must remem
ber that, he was not to come until
evening I . He must not be there when
Channing arrived I Hastily she rang
J for her maid,
I "Hester. ' he said, "I am at home
to no one but Mr. Channing."
"Very well Miss Pauline."
The girl rurned again to the window.
The man was rapidly approaching the
house nnd t.he noted with a sense of
pleasure de air of distinction about
hun. She lembered how proud she
I had been of her handsome escort last
night. . lng was a dear, but he
lacked UH surunce, the clever wit
I that math th? other man stand out
from his fellowsi A ware of pity swept
I over her, und Instantly she knew that
I she had m a do a decision. She was
I sony fot ( iiconing because she must
hurt him by "tarrying Jim!
An the hun /lng man reached the
I stone ?tcp' ono of the children, with
I a squeal ot pore joy, slid along the
sldewAlk and lott her balance directly
I before <7im. Pauline, watching from
j the win.U?w, could not suppress hei
I lauf, i : Tbc dignified James, of all
I peoplo, to be 'titting, crimson with
I embanr vHuumt, on an icy sidewalk
j directly before; her house I ? mo
ment hu dr her mirth changed to con
stormi t lon, then Quickly to anger, for
bavin* Htru^glod to his feet, Jim had
seised the ocent cause of his lg
nom i m ?. tumble and was energeti
cally sh ?diing her.
..Now un home, every one of you,'
he cried furiously, and like frightened
rabbits tho ehildren scurried around
i the coro?r.
II Pauline hold her breath as she
i watch)?! him ralghten his hat, glance
I furtive' " anil somewhat sheepishly at
I the windows, then stride up the steps
"Oh, f hope Heater remembers," sh?
whlHper?d, nt. me drew back still fur
I thar from the curtained window. "
I never want to see him again 1 Thu
poor little girl."
She heard the door open, then close
land Jim went slowly down thi
I steps sgatn. 8he felt no thrill now a
i she watched him. In a half panic
. stricken way she was thinking, "An?
I I might have married a man wno dldn'
like children r
1 . As the min?tes went slowly by sh
1 began to fear that Channing, toe
' might fall her. At last he came, bu
'I not exactly ss she had expected hin:
for he almost-no, actually-rush*
. Into the room, holding In his arms i
, child whose grubby fists were makin,
. strange marks on a tear-wet face.
MI knew you wouldn't mind If
I brought the little shaver in, Pauline,
I was Channing's greeting. "You soe,
' he burst Into a hearty laugh, "we ha
a little mix-up on tlie ice, and whe
1 we got untangled this chap seemed t
. be on the casualty Hst. I thought som
. wltchhazel might fix him up all right.
> I With shining eyes, Pauline ran ut
- stairs for the bottle, and together the
. bathed the bruises. Soon the chll
j slipped off Channing's knee. "I gott
go home now," he announced. A nu
' ment later, with, a slice of cake In eac
I hand, he was ushered ceremonlousl
" out the front door.
t Pauline turned to Channing. '
) think you are the nicest man I eve
knew," she exclaimed.
"Why, Pauline," stammered the su
prised Channing, "Do you-will yo
-that is, may I-"
